I read that as saying a rule probably will be passed regarding spring break practices but hasn't yet. (Probably because spring break is over but camp season is coming up…..)

Mike and Mike played a different side of this on their show this morning. Shutting down all of this includes stopping coaches from other schools from being able to see these camps, and therefore all of the kids that might have been seen at them by schools like Ohio, or Miami. Kids that weren't going to Ohio State, or Michigan, but could be offered by MAC schools, or FCS schools. On their show it was stated that this limits the exposure for a potential scholarship to kids that fit that situation. I don't pretend to know a ton about this, but it feels like a bunch of SEC coaches complaining about the mere potential of losing out on a few recruits.

I should also add, and I fully agree with, a second point discussed on their show making note of how quickly the NCAA managed to get this decision made when the SEC complained about it. Somehow though, when accusations of academic impropriety, or other more serious violations occurs at larger, probably money making schools, they take years to investigate it and make a decision.

They're really on a roll this week, aren't they?

The NCAA can not dictate what North Carolina does with the academics at their school, and you know you don't want them getting into that.

However, we are, as a society, worshiping these athlete first on-line high schools with questionable academic standards who never see a traditional classroom.

It's the same disparity that football coaches deal with every year in comparison to basketball, summer camps were equivalent of AAU tournaments in the spring and summer where basketball coaches have always enjoyed a meet market of talent to evaluate and parents who are happy to glad hand. Basketball also has the ability to practice with a ball all spring and summer in Ohio where football is limited.

But yes, football players and their coaches are now going to have to put more work into getting recognized in the summers, and being creative in finding the money to sponsor kids to attend camps, much like AAU programs help cover the cost of their programs for the same type of kid.

I also may add that 7 on 7 style AAU events are becoming increasingly popular in many states and regions, as well as Spring practices, which Ohio just voted down, but we are putting 8-man football on the front burner.
